The BBC has featured several photos from an upcoming photography book, Photography Through the Eyes of Saudi Arabian Women. Reviewer Maya Jarjour, from Arab News, writes that the book “hopes to promote positive images of Saudi Arabian women to the West and within the Kingdom through her book and exhibition as well as create another bridge of communication ‘artistically,’ between the East and West.” The photographs chosen were taken by both amateur and professional photographers.
